Last weekend we went to the country side for a little winter vacation. When we got there in the evening, it was -5˚C, by the time we went to sleep it was +5˚C and the next day we reached a high of +13˚C which actually felt really warm. But the chilly conditions didn't bother us since the nature was so beautiful. And here's an idea for a beautiful winter evening (or day): go outside, light a fire in the fireplace, bring some hot tea or mulled wine and enjoy a nice picnic.

This year we had one of those rare Midsummer Eves when one can wear a sundress instead of a parka and wellies. The setting sun gilded the fields and girls with flower crowns walked in the wild blooms of the meadow. And though once the sun had disappeared behind the woods, the chill of a June night set in, the longest night of the year lost none of its magic. A magical evening turned into a mysterious night. When dusk melted into dawn, the first rays of the morning sun were greeted by a thick fog.
Evenings like this on the meadow always make me feel like a fairy, wanting to dance in the evening light with the dress and hair all flying in the wind. There is something so mystical in moments like that, as if time disappears connecting us to some ancient era.

The leaves are changing colour and the mornings are getting crisper, yet I found this lovely memory from this summer. Sunset, long stretches of white sandy beaches, blue skies, calm seas and a about fifty or so beautiful horses. Extraordinarily low sea levels turned our green and grassy beaches into Arabian sand dunes where the sun and wind were hot and wild horses roamed.
